Hmmm...

I was thinking today about the fact that I haven't talked to my best friend, Tarah, or my sister-in-law, Michelle, for a long long time. I used to call them regularly. I have to wonder why that is......

When Chad and I started dating, and really even into the first several years of our marriage, it used to drive me crazy that Chad didn't like to talk on the phone. It would now seem as though I have adopted his feelings about it. I often get frustrated when talking on the phone, especially cell phones. I hate that I am always distracted while I am on the phone. There TRULY never seems to be a "good" time. I hate that, when talking on a cell phone, I will be talking and can't hear what the person on the other end is saying because it cuts them off. Finally, I have a hard time "reading people" over the phone. It is funny how I have changed over time. I also feel like I don't have anything to talk about with them now that I have started blogging. We truly lead boring lives and anything big that happens makes it on the blog, so what is left to talk about?

On that note, here is an update on what the boys and I have been up to while Chad is away - -

• We have done the usual cleaning (that is a must in my book)


• We have been swimming


• I have been working, and sleeping, and trying to figure out what to do with the boys while I was doing these things.


• The boys have been spending lots of time playing baseball at the park


• The boys have been staying up too late


• The boys went to the batting cages for the first time with some good friends of ours, and they LOVED it!
• The boys talked me into taking them and their friends to the batting cages on what might have been the last of our nice cool summer days (it was only 85 degrees at 4pm)


• I had to take the family cat to the vet for emergency surgery to drain a large abscess on his neck, YUCK


• I have been checking 2 to 3 times per day for updates from Chad.

The boys have done exceptionally good while Chad has been gone. I wish I wasn't tired so much of the time so that I could enjoy them even more. We are all looking forward to Chad coming home. I think that Diesel, our family dog, is ready too.
